Chapter 108: The Theory of Food Speed

Ugly to eat?

Seeing Long Yun's dazed face, Shangguan Ling glanced left and right, and then leaned over slightly to express his dissatisfaction.

"I've been patient for a long time. Can you be more elegant? Don't chew so hard. ”

Is that so? Long Yun kind of understood.

Although compared with his male compatriots, his way of eating is not out of line, but it is indeed better to be a little more restrained in front of girls. Thinking of this, he nodded, and then continued to use his fork to pluck the barbecued pork on the plate, which was his favorite.

"You—your knife and fork ......"

"What's wrong, Ling? Did I use the wrong knife and fork? ”

"Yes. Unless you're left-handed, but I can see you're not. ”

"Ah, it doesn't seem to matter that much."

Always dismissive of this, Long Yun expressed a little of his opinion. It's not the first time that the two of them have eaten together, and weren't they okay in the Peking University restaurant before? How could she be so picky today?

"Why doesn't it matter? Don't forget, you're my chauffeur and you'll go with me wherever I go. If you look foreign at a cocktail party or banquet, then how can you get it? ”

"Westerners are only allowed to use chopsticks indiscriminately, and I am not allowed to use knives and forks indiscriminately, right?"

Long Yun muttered a little dissatisfied. He has always hated such inexplicable double standards. In those years when China was weak and lagging behind the world trend, such an approach was suspected of being self-defeating; Now that it is recognized as a superpower, it is a bit boring to talk about such verbose rules.

Is it because you are in a foreign country and your mind has been assimilated?

"Nonsense! I've always treated everyone equally. I can't control what other people do, and if I see chopsticks used as spears, I will feel very awkward. Long Yun, you eat too fast, it's not good for digestion. Is it okay to eat slowly? - Well, just like me. ”

Probably seeing Long Yun's objection, Shangguan Ling explained two sentences in a calm tone, and then gave Long Yun a demonstration. I saw her grasp the knife and fork in both hands, quite elegantly cut a small piece of beef on the plate, and then brought it to her mouth with a fork, and the two rosy lips opened slightly, and the food was sent to her mouth and chewed carefully.

It is said that watching beautiful women eat is also a kind of enjoyment, and Long Yun now also has quite a resonance; But he really can't learn how to eat like her. So Long Yun decided to reason with the little girl in front of him:

"Ling, actually, there is a reason for me to eat like this."

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"You see, I need more calories a day than you do, and I need a lot more food, right? But do you want to wait for me to eat? That's impossible. So I just have to eat quickly, don't I? ”

The more Long Yun spoke, the more energetic he became.

"I'm going to eat more than you at the same mealtime; Then my 'eating speed' must be higher than yours, and I don't care about eating. ”

"'Eating speed'?"

Obviously, it was the first time he heard this word, Shangguan Ling's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his bright eyes. After blinking her eyes a few times, she understood what Long Yun meant, and raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled.

"Heh, you're really going to make excuses! But it still sounds like there's some truth. Probably because she thought Long Yun was very interesting, she put away a serious attitude and smiled lightly at Long Yun. In short, you try to pay attention to it. ”

……

For the next two or three days, Long Yun and Professor Liang and his party were active on various campuses of the University of Paris.

There was nothing about visiting Wèn for exchanges and participating in academic conferences; But he had to accompany Shangguan Ling, not only for Shangguan Ling herself, but also for her mentor and several fellow senior brothers.

There is no way, after experiencing drastic changes in demographic composition, the current old Europe is no longer a golden age of idyllic scenery and singing and dancing, even in a big city like Paris, the law and order situation can only be said to be so-so. Those who are active in slums and immigrant neighborhoods have become a dangerous source of headaches for the authorities. But this qiē is the result of the wrong policies of the early years, and now they really have nothing to complain about.

Of course, in the midst of such upheaval, the provinces of southern France, which were not very wealthy, were fortunate to have escaped waves of illegal immigration; After going through those years, it is now the most peaceful and peaceful sunny town in the country.

If it weren't for that, the group wouldn't be ready to head south for a vacation.

On the morning of this day, Shangguan Ling still got up quite early, but Long Yun was obviously more active than her, and was already waiting for her outside the door to have breakfast at this time.

Coming to the buffet area of the hotel, with the previous lesson, Long Yun was quite cautious to eliminate the food on the plate in front of him. Seeing Shangguan Ling's critical eyes glance a few times before nodding at him, Long Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

What kind of eating appearance, it's really a toss-up.

"Ling, what are your plans for today?" Knowing that the agenda of the meeting was vacant today, Long Yun felt that this little girl had to go shopping or something, in short, she couldn't come for nothing.

"I'm going to the Louvre."

"Oh?"

Don't you shop? Then it's sightseeing, Long Yun thought casually. Although I have little interest in the famous paintings and other works of art in the palace, the building itself is still worth seeing. Stuffing the cake into his mouth, Long Yun thought about renting a car from the hotel later, and he felt that it was still a bit risky to take the subway here.

And he was still a little selfish: Su Xue had told him before that he could go to the French National Archives to see the information, and he was trying to persuade Shangguan Ling to go by the way.

"Actually, I want to verify whether what is said in the 'Da Vinci Code' is really zài."

"The Da Vinci Code?" Of course, Long Yun had read this book, but when he read it back then, he knew that many of the descriptions in it were just the author's imagination. "Of course there is no zài, this is self-explanatory."

"I just wanted to go there and experience the atmosphere. After all, it's already here. Shangguan Ling obviously didn't approve of Long Yun's indifference, "Anyway, some of the analyses of religion in that book are still a bit interesting. ”

"Okay. And—" Long Yun seized the moment to mention his thoughts, "If I have time, I would like to visit the French National Archives." ”

"Where are you going to do something?" Shangguan Ling raised his eyes and looked at him a few times.

"I'd like to look it up."

"Can't you use the Internet to check online?"

"Well, it's actually different. Ling, aren't you the same? The panorama of the Louvre can also be seen on the Internet, and it is also in 3D, so what is the difference between it and the scene. ”

Long Yun said this deliberately, and sure enough, Shangguan Ling shook his head disapprehantly.

"Of course it's different! The sense of presence, that's completely different. In this regard, I believe more in 'reading 10,000 books, but also walking 10,000 miles'. After saying this, probably understanding what Long Yun meant, Shangguan Ling took a small bite of the cake and smiled at Long Yun with understanding.

She's quite reasonable! Long Yun thought so, but he immediately knew that this Shangguan girl's reasonableness was really beyond his expectations.

"Well, since you say so, we'll just take some time in the afternoon."

"Are you going along?"

"yes?" Shangguan Ling glared back rather dissatisfied, and Long Yun quickly silenced. "You said before that the security situation in Paris is not good, and I don't want to spend the whole afternoon in the hotel. If I don't go with you, where else can I go? ”
